Reality proved that the idea was beautiful, but the truth was cruel.
Ning Rongrong and Shui Bing'er had initially brimmed with confidence. If Qian Renxue could sense spiritual energy with Chu Xiu's guidance, there was no reason the two of them couldn't.
But once they actually began, they discovered it was nothing like they had imagined.
